Reviews

For years he tutored aspiring musicians out of his little magazine/comic store in the city's Sunset District. One of his students, the renowned David Grisman, now pays homage to his remarkable spirit with this compilation of ensemble pieces recorded in the years 1989-1995. As producer and label owner, Grisman presents gorgeously crafted arrangements and Cipolla's playing and writing magically fuse an old world Italian-America to the eccentric, romantic spirit of San Francisco. “ Sandy Carter
